Here’s the dilemma: I need to make some massive changes to SharpMT and if I make them, I fear that I’ll end up orphaning some of the existing settings for some of the options… one of the changes would be making a new “working” directory at \Documents and Settings\

Pocket SharpMT – 1.3 Release
Announcing the official release of Pocket SharpMT 1.3! The 1.3 version is the initial release of Pocket SharpMT – despite of the 1.3 version number which keep in sync with SharpMT – so the FAQ is the best source of information about the features and version history. Pocket SharpMT was designed for Pocket PC 2002 and Windows Mobile 2003 devices – it requires the .NET Compact Framework to be installed (version 1.0 SP1) before it will install properly.

Last Call for Bugs
Time to put a milestone in the sand. I sorta see some online-ibus interuptus type events on my personal horizon and I didn’t want to leave either SharpMT or Pocket SharpMT in a state of disrepair. What started as couple of small bug fixes for SharpMT have evolved into some nice new features that I’d like to make permanent. Pocket SharpMT has gone though enough paces and testing (by users mostly) to be launched as an initial release. I don’t know of any outstanding bugs at this time; if you found something that broke either application, please let me know – otherwise I’m going to kick both these out the door and take a small break for offline pursuits (as well as some planning for a 1.5 or 2.0 version of both applications!) Thanks for the ongoing support!
SharpMT – 1.3 Beta 3
Another feature added! There’s now a new tab on the Add URL dialog called Favorites. On this tab you’ll find a list of bookmarks that your have on you Favorites menu in Windows/IE. If you select a URL from this list it will be added into your Draft. Download 1.3 Beta 3 here and read the updated FAQ.

Pocket SharpMT – 1.3 Beta 7
Only a small change for Beta 7: The Add URL dialog now supports the title attribute for the Anchor tag. If left blank you’ll see no difference; if filled in, a title=”text” will appear in the inserted URL. If you’re on a PC download 1.3 Beta 7 here or read the FAQ. On a PIE, download the CAB file here: ARM.
SharpMT – 1.3 Beta 2
Gotta love having downtime and not losing power at the same time – at least I think ya do… two neat things, two changes, and one bug fix for this release. Download 1.3 Beta 2 here and read the updated FAQ.

Pocket SharpMT – 1.3 Beta 6
More subtle changes for Pocket SharpMT while the socket disconnects get looked at. Pocket #MT can now insert information from the Contacts data store and the “Add URL” dialog now returns focus to the control that last had it. The only other change is that I’m no longer including SH3 and MIPS CABs as I hear that only ARM chips are included in Pocket PC 2002 and Windows Mobile 2003 devices. If you’re on a PC download 1.3 Beta 6 here or read the FAQ. On a PIE, download the CAB file here: ARM.

Pocket SharpMT – 1.3 Beta 5
I think I’ve come to terms with the connection/hanging problems and wanted to get it out there so this got released quickly – this is the last bug to disappear before I kick both 1.3’s out the door. I’m hoping that these fixes take care of the hanging-while-posting bug and the missing-assembly-bug but there’s a trade off for it… on a PC download 1.3 Beta 5 here or read the FAQ. On a PIE, download the cab here: ARM.

Pocket SharpMT – 1.3 Beta 4
And now for another Beta of Pocket SharpMT. 1.3 Beta 4 has a few bug fixes and two new features, which keeps it on par with SharpMT (1.3/Beta 1) which got a couple of new features last week. Download Beta 4 and read the FAQ for more info.

SharpMT – 1.3 Beta 1
Thought it might be wise to keep both products going at the same time. Actually, this will cause Pocket SharpMT to jump to 1.3 for it’s initial release, but that’s no big deal. I want to keep them together because the blogDrafts.xml file can be shared across the desktop and Pocket version (if your Pocket PC can handle the large XML file!) So 1.3 of SharpMT brings a few new features and a couple of bug fixes… Download 1.3 Beta 1 here and read the updated FAQ.

Pocket SharpMT – 1.2 Beta 3
Held off on this release for a few of hours, with the hope that some more bugs (or features) would turn up from beta 2. Beta 3 includes a couple of SIP enhancements, a major bug fix for some menu items, and a bug fix for category handling. Download Beta 3 and read the FAQ for more info.

Pocket SharpMT – 1.2 Beta 2
I hate early beta releases… updates come far too quickly and this beta is no different than the first SharpMT beta. And so, here is Beta 2 of Pocket SharpMT 1.2! Couple of bug fixes that corrected some of the font types/sizes and a couple of small new features. Download version 1.2 Beta 2 here – the FAQ has also been updated for this release…

Pocket SharpMT – 1.2 Beta 1
Announcing the initial release of Pocket SharpMT 1.2! What’s Pocket SharpMT? It’s a version of SharpMT that has been designed for Pocket PC 2002 devices – it should also work on the Phone Edition of Pocket PC’s and Windows Mobile 2003, but I haven’t tested them yet; that’s what betas are for! How can an initial release start at version 1.2? Simple: I plan to evolve SharpMT and Pocket SharpMT at the same time so they should have the same version number. If you have a Pocket PC device read the FAQ and download the CAB files here.
